The Irish Coercion Bill.

Mr.. Gladstone, in a letter addressed to
some English workingmen last week
said
If ever there was time when it was to
the interest of the worklngman to bethink
himself this is the time. 1t is the first
time when coercion bill, if passed, is to
he passed by Eugland's vote alone AGAINST
the voices OF scotland, Ireland and Wales.
Ii is the first time when such bill Will
have been passed under he sanction of the
houSeholders at large, who were never
enfranchisrd before the last elections i'll
1855 and 1856.
1t is the first time coercion has been
proposed without any attempt by the
ministry to show what we know they can
not show-a state of exceptional and fla
grant or growing crime. 1t England is to
coerce Ireland for crime, Ireland can reply
that relatively to population she has less
crime than England In my opinion the
rejection of the bill is even more needed
by England than by Ireland. For Ire
land il is a question of suffering, and she
knows how to suffer. For England, it is
a question of shame and diShonor, aul to
cast away shame and dishunur Is the first
business of a great nation. In 1876 Il
etfectual force to the movement for Bull
garla which brought about the election of
1850. May the meeting of Monday next
ring the death knell of the worst, the
most insulting, and the most canseles5
coer )ion bill ever submitted TO Parlia-
ment.

The father of DR.. John Evans married a
Miss Duyley. The right to bear his moth

depha, by decision of the Court of
| Common Pleas, in 1879, and the pope con-
ferred upon him the title of marquis. The
name Marquis d'Oyley sounded we'll in
the salons, but DR.. Thomas Evans held
that. having renounced the name of
| Evans, he must adhere in business to his
adopted name. The tribunal of the Seine
supported Dr. Thomas Evans's view, but
the superior Court has reversed this de-
clslon, holding that the nephew, DR.. John,
could not really diyest himself of tine
name OF Evans.

public officials, such as is recommended
by Commissioner Colman, is necessary or
advisable. The multiplication of State
officers is always except in cases of evil
dent necessity, to be avoided. Our cattle
commissioners have certainly acted with
as much promptness and as effectively as
could be asked of any administrative bu-
reau in the present emergency; and we
certainly do not believe that Vermont
needs to supplement this commission with
any bureau of animal industry"

The Labor Party in the West.

In the Cincinnati election Monday the
labor candidate for mayor came out a
close second in the race, receiving 1900
votes. The republican majority was small
and the democrats were "nowhere," the
labor candidate drawing largely from
both parties. AS might be expected, the
German wards of the city, constituting a
large proportion of its population, were
almost solid in favor of the labor candi-
date.
In Chicago where the labor party is in
some disrepute, as representing to large
extent the socialist and anarchist elements
with which that city abounds, the labor
party suffered crushing defeat, but not
without polling vote large enough to be
very significant The labor candidates for
the circuit and superior judgeship carried
the city of Milwaukee by 1900 votes, and
of rs aldermen the labor party elected
nine. At Dubuque, Ia, the Knights of
Labor won a complete victory, capturing
every public Office III a city of $1,000 in
habitants, from the mayorship down. A
large labor vote was polled in Michigan
and Kansas. These are significant straws
aud cannot be disregarded. Considering
the youthful age of the labor party, it is
coming rapidly to the front as an element
in politics.

But the New York sun tells of case in

law or not. The narrow policy of the po-
litical prohibitionists and their determine
ton that if the full temperance loaf can
not be had the people shall 90 without
bread, also undoubtedly operates to throw
the votes of less extreme temperance men
against the prohibitory amendment. New
ertheless, on the whole, and in the broad
outlook, the temperance cause makes
steady progress in this country. The rum
sellers will not permit it to languish
though the earnestness of its friends
sometimes flags.

The prompt action of the Vermont State
Cattle commission, in institutng a quar-
antine against cattle from the State of
New York, is meeting with commenda-
ton, as it should, on every hand. The
quarantine which has been established is
for the good, not only of the cattle raisers
and farmers of Vermont, but of the whole
country. The necessity of taking prompt
and energetic means for checking the
spread of pleuro-pneumonla, is fully real
lied by the commissioner of agriculture at
Washington, Mr. Colman. The commits
sioner has just issued circular, addressed
to the executives of New York and con
tiguous States, urging the establishment
by the several Legislatures of bureaus of
animal industry" to cooperate with the
national authorities in surpressing and
extirpaGng contagious diseases among
cattle. In his letter to Gov. Hill.Commis-
sioner Colman says:
You are, no doubt, aware that conta-
gious pleurO pneumonia is now prevalent
in certain sections of the State of New
York, more particularly in the county of
Washington, the cities of New York and
Brooklyn and on Long Island, and that
adjoining States have quarantined against
cattle from New York State. This de-
partment is DESTROYS of stamping out the
disease promptly, and if this bill or a sim
liar one were passed by the Legislature of
New York state it would greatly aid us
in accomplishing this purpose and would
probably prove the most efficient form of
cooperation.
We fail to see, however, why, with such
an efficient cattle commission as is pos
sessed by Vermont and most of the East
ern States, the creation of new board of

Among the difficult questions which the
inter State commerce commission will be
asked to decide, is one which is likely to
touch upon the color line. A colored man
in Georgia, who had paid for first-class
ticket, was ordered out of the first-class
car by the conductor. Not content with
this, the white passengers, indignant at
such "impudence, put the colored pas.
senger off the train at the next station.
The matter has been brought before the
commissioners. 1t certainly seems to come
under their jurisdiction, inasmuch as the
Interstate commerce bill covers passen-
ger as well as freight transportation. The
decision of this case, as it must establish
a precedent, will be awaited with no little
curiosity.

The Interstate commissioners will be
able to start paper-mill for which the
railroad companies will supply old paper
in abundance, for paper stock. The law
requires copies of all documents printed
by them to be sent to the commissioners.
There are thousand railroad and trans.
portation companies, some of which issue
two or three thousand documents, of vari-
Gus kinds, a year. One such document
issued by the Michigan Central, is book
of $40 pages, and it is estimated that the
commission will receive ton Of docu,
ments, more or less, every day.

The Philadelphia American has been
hammerng away for years, trying to
drive into the public mind the conviction
that the existing complications between
the United States and Canada, which
have been so long coming to head. can
be settled only by the removal of the Gus
toms houses between the two countries
and the maintenance of common tariff,
with partition of the revenue derived
from duties on some equitable basis Per
sistency, like virtue, is sometimes Is own
reward, and the american is not likely to
get any other, for its perseverance. If the
United States had not given reciprocity
with Canada fair trial, 1t might be will
ling to try it on.

The failures of the prohibition amend
ments in Michigan and other States are
not to be taken rs indications that the
cause of temperance is losing ground.
The people see that constitutional amend
ments cannot cure the evils of intemper-
ance, They amount to nothing unless
there is public sentiment back of them
which will secure the necessary State leg
islation under the constitution, and will
back up the laws when enacted. Where
such condition of public sentiment ex-
lists, it makes little difference whether

In the remarks of Mr.. Russell Sturgis,
Jr., at the Y. NJ. c. A. anniversary, the
other evening, he spoke of the way the
young men of New England are deserving
the towns and villages and thronging to
the large cities. Speaking of the same
complaint which is being made in the
South the New York World pertinently
says This is an evil that is bound to cor
rect itself IN the course of time. After
awhile the youths who throng the cities
and fail to get work will yield to the logic
of short ratlons and go back to the rural
districts" The World is doubtless right.
With all the mercantile, industrial and
professional resources of the large cities,
they cannot furnish work for all the young
men in the country. The tide must set
back sooner or later.

While it is true that the law directs the

the fact that the law requires each tax
payer who does not receive blank inven-
tory, to procure one of the listers or town

there has been any neglect of duty on the
part of the clerk or listers, in the matter
of distributing blanks, that does not re-
